So guys i planned my rock scape with the following idea: growing a sps on top of the big flat rock

Question is as follows: what can i succesfully grow here?
I was hoping on someting like birdnest or a nice acrapora
Light par at this depth is ~150 when all lights are on
Flow canbe high as i have a pp8 pointing right at the area

You can grow anything as long as your conditions are good and enough light. Birdnest is pretty hearty and comes in different varieties. Other easy to SPS are montis, pocillipora, and stylophora. Hope this helped.
 
My vote would be Stylos or pocis if you have never grown SPS before. Birds can be downright brutal if they don't like the tank conditions or you suffer an Alk spike.
 
Nice aquascape!
